IPhone 6 :: Calendar And Contacts Won't Sync With ICloud
Dec 1, 2014
Just got the iPhone 6 and it's cool and all but my calendar and contacts won't sync with iCloud. Not sure why and I haven't really found a good solution on the web anywhere.
I want to sync my icloud calendar with my iphone calendar. All of my entries from previous months are on my icloud calendar but not my iphone. How do I get them back on there? I have corrected my settings for future entries (I think/hope) but want to put the old stuff back on.
My wife and I both have an iphone 4s, both connected to the same icloud for synchronisation of our calendars.I have an annoying bug that is messing with my emoticons that are in my calendar (week calendar and iphone calendar) since updating to the latest IOS. I have a number of recurring events that have one or more icons(emoticons) in them for easier recognition. Almost all of these events show ?? where an emoticon used to be. The same happens on my ipod. On my wife's iphone all is ok, except if I change an emoticon on my phone, then she gets the ?? too.
It all worked perfectly fine until the latest IOS update.
I receive many invites from co-workers who use Outlook / Exchange to create appointments. I receive the appointment, accept and add it to iCal on my MacBook Pro (10.7.3) just fine. I sync my calendars to my iPhone and iPad via iCloud.I can open the appointment and view it on the MacBook and via the web-iCloud interface, but if I try to view it on my iPhone or iPad, the Cal app will crash immediately. It happens with 100% of the accepted invites on both iOS devices. I've rebooted the devices to no avail. Any alarms associated with the appointment work on the iOS devices, but I just can't view the appointment. Manually created appointments have no problems.
My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related.
If I create a new contact on my iphone and I am not connected to either wi-fi or the network, the new contact doesn't appear on the icloud sync, even after I then am near a wi-fi connection. (I tend to keep my network connectivity off because I have a very small data plan)
I have tried a manual backup from the iphone at the time I do get to my wi-fi. That still doesn't recognize the new contacts.
If I then edit the contact, maybe change one letter or number, it is then synced up.
PS: The phone contacts says 380 contacts. Sorry I can't capture that screen to upload it here.
In Outlook 2010 I have: 1. Contacts from MS Exchange, 2. Suggested Contacts, 3. Conctats (iCloud Archive) and in another category I have Cloud Contacts.
I need to sync both iCloud ans MS Exchange contacts on my iPhone and keep them as different groups in outlook 2010.
I have a PC, iPhone and iPad on which contacts, reminders and calendar are turned on in iCloud.
Everything used to work fine. I missed a meeting on Thursday because it did not snych into me iPhone. I noticed contact changes were not synching. I turned of Contact Synching on the iPhone, selected keep contact on iPhone.
All contacts were erased on the iPhone. Turned synch back on and nothing downloads to the iPhone I checked iCloud on the web and the contacts are there.
I cannot figure out how to link and sync my contacts on my iPhone with my iCloud account. I have followed the steps, and done the merge contacts and back up and store. Nothing shows up on my computer in my contacts app on iCloud it only has apple as a contact but none of my name or numbers in my phone.
Just purchased an iPhone 5s today. After I had synced my new phone, I noticed that my old iPhone did not save my calendar or contacts from my old phone to iCloud. So, I backed it up and it said iCloud backed up at 9:22pm (my old phone). I called tech support and she said the information was saved in iCloud. However, when I try to sync the new phone in iTunes there is no calendar and my old data from April of 2013 (this is when the last back up was) is downloading to the new phone! I went to the iCloud website and low and behold the old info is still there??? I am so confused and ****** because now I guess I have to manually enter all my calendar events (except for birthdays) on the new phone??
I am looking for an alternative to iCloud so that I can sync my iCal and Address Book Contacts with my iPhone 4.I curently have Snow Leopard and do not plan on upgrading to Lion because of the loss of Expose.Since that means I lose my cloud syncing capabilities,I wondered if anyone can recommend an alternative to iCloud other than hard-syncing my iPhone to my computer on a daily basis.
I'm trying to get my calendar / contacts to sync without duplicates on my iPhone and my Mac. When I sync it gets stuck on step 2.. When I de-select contacts and calender everything else syncs. I've backed up / restored iphone / downloaded the latest version [of everything] / turned icloud off and on / reset the sync setting in itunes / spent 5 hours searching for answers and have come up short.. I have 4, sometimes 5 duplicates in the calender and just realised I have 95,000 contacts [mostly with No Name] in my contacts folder.
I would like to sync my iPhone to iCloud (since MobileMe is about to be removed) for backup, but my desktop Mac doesn't connect to iCloud as I run Snow Leopard (not running Lion, and I have no intention of installing Lion, having heard how many problems that caused to my friends).Having tried to sync to iCloud with the phone, I'm now unable to sync with my desktop iCal or Address Book. Now, none of my appointments and reminders are being transferred between the two.
My iCloud has more contacts in it than the phone. It is creating tons of duplicate contacts in viber. How do I reconcile this situation and get all my contacts on iCloud only or get iCloud and the phone to match exactly? Right now iCloud is more up to date than the iPhone.
I have iphone with 5.1 and latest version of itunes and use a gmail account. I was using gmail directly to sync mail and calendar but this didn't (or at least I could find a way to) sync my gmail contacts to my phone contacts so i decided to use Exchange. I deleted my gmail account from my phone and added the Exchange account, following all the instructions on many websites like this one [url]. I selected 'ON' for mail, contacts and calendars. When I refresh contacts and calendar on iphone nothing happens. When I go in mail and refresh that it comes up with 'Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.'. I deleted the account and reset up in case i messed anything up but it's still not working.
I have a new PC and want to sync all my tunes, contacts, calender and notes from my iphone into the new PC.I want to synce the notes and calender with outlook and the contact with windows contacts. Do a need some software to do this?
I am new to the Blackberry game, having used Nokia smartphones mostly.I got a Blackberry Curve 3G 9300 couple of days back. It came with OS 5 pre-installed. I got a BB plan activated with my provider (Airtel - www.airtel.in ) and got it to sync my work email, contacts and calendar using the BIS site. My employer uses Google Apps Premier Edition, so it was a rather painless process.Afterwards, I upgraded the device to OS6. Once the upgrade was complete, my emails started syncing automatically - nothing really needed from my side. But the Calendar and Contacts do not sync any more. I can see that the checkboxes for Calendar and Contacts are enabled both on the BIS site as well as the device, but they simply do not sync.
